A seabird visits the pasture to hang out with the horses.
To get to the beach from our campsite, you ride down an access road. Luckily, the road is not too heavily trafficked and there is plenty of space for us to ride off the road.
Once we are on the beach, it is pretty easy riding. It is flat. The waves are not too big. We are in off-season, so the beach is pretty empty.
We have done three rides on the beach so far and each ride my horse relaxes just a little bit more and is a little bit more brave - getting closer to the waves and the water.
Vehicles are allowed on the beach and so we are passed by dune buggies, vehicles, and even motorcycles.
Our horses are getting used to the vehicles and doing really well with all of it.
The shelters for our horses
There is an amazon locker at the Big Store/Ace Hardware about three miles from where we are, so I have been ordering items and having them delivered to the locker.
We are here for another week. We are getting to experience what it would be like to live on the beach and Ari pretty much hates it. He is getting bitten by mosquitoes. He doesn't like the local restaurants (to be fair, we haven't gotten a decent meal eating out here yet. The places in Galveston were excellent. But, most of the places here on Crystal Beach have been over-priced and pretty lousy.)
On the other hand, Ari is enjoying riding on the beach. It is lovely.
